I don’t want to embarrass myself after seeing your work. I too his $210 Ruger M77 made in 1978 and had to replace his cracked stock with a Boyds Laminant then install a Timney Trigger

yes Rizzini. Heyms are one of the best made!!!

So you now own this rifle? Absolutely awesome and congratulations for a rifle of a lifetime!!!

I think it is absolutely awesome!!!!! So agree with your thinking…you sir have nostalgia in you as I do given I don’t even begin to have your talent but I had my dads 30-06 redone very much for your reasons

I absolutely agree with him except if you wanted to hunt elephant then without question you must have solids

I am extremely proud we have men on here that recognize the Louis Vuitton Brand lol!!!

@Tanks I know you ordered the additional 450-400 barrel for this years lion hunt…will it arrive in time?

Here is what Gail taught me along with Lou…The “polish” that comes with the boots is not polish but saddle soap meaning you put it on almost every day and wear them until the jar is gone…five days for me. On my boots I was pleasantly shocked to find how that perfectly broke in the boots taking...

@One Day... is the best I know for knowing the physics of what a DR does with easy to understand pictures and the proper stance to use off sticks

No jokes…in my Zim hunt they captured the biggest scorpion i have ever seen in a shoe box…it was the size of a large crayfish

one of my absolute favorites!!! Great start to your trip my friend!!!!!

Yes. Buy a $5 head net from Walmart. The mopani bees will drive you crazy otherwise. The very best thing I brought. Did not mess up my vision at all. easy to take off and put on

For me I have a separate brokerage E trade account just for Africa. No problems wiring anything

I too am left eye dominant but right handed. When I shoot birds I keep both eyes open to get a line but then close my left eye for final shot. Same with my rifles. Do I lose some depth perception, yes is it enough to make me change to LH, no

Over rated would be a put and take small property in SA…I had a great hunt in the kalahari on their large property but when we drove back to their other property very disappointing with me only focused on the first portion I chose not to hunt the second given this just relaxed and read. Under...

When you buy a DR it is almost paramount to reload if you want good regulation or you are just lucky

no

No worries. Here is how I fix that using 50 yards as the distance: 1. Fire your right barrel then mark R1 on the target. 2. Fire left barrel and mark L1 on target 3. If no crossing INCREASE velocity with 2 more grains of powder then repeat 1&2 above marking R2 and L2. You will absolutely see...

I would stay away from it. Too light for caliber poor engraving. I have owned one so I know

So very true!!! When I had my larger piece of land I bought JD 4WD tractor and all the fixings, cutter, tiller, planter, harrow and seeder with spreader. Now I only keep the cutter given I don’t plant anymore. At one time I also bought a JD 450 crawler to clear 7 acres for more food plots. Boy...

No I hunted in Zim with Tokoloshe. I will be hunting with Tsala in Moz in 2027 for my second chance at leopard

After not being successful in 25 for leopard I just booked for 27 with Tsala here for my second attempt!!!

Schunter73 gets them! Please PM me your mailing address and I will UPS them out tomorrow

Congratulations!!!!!!!

FANTASTIC AND CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! My wife and I own 40 acres in Pine Mountain GA with a little cottage on it and we enjoy it as you will enjoy yours!!! Nothing like having your own shooting area for big bores that shooting ranges just cannot accomidate.

This is why I loaded up on all reloading supplies when available, Powder, brass, bullets and primers no matter the crazy price at the time. I just don’t to worry about it. Just me

I just gave away free my JG boots. Now I am offering my new never hunted Lowas size 12 free!!!!!

Congratulations on some great animals and experiences!!! Well done!!!

My 404 for elephant was zeroed at 50 yards as my backup rifle for elephantt

Great purchase and very well done!!! You will not regret it! I had one just like it that served me well!

lol…I bought my wife a purse like that…A LV?

No sir it would not!!!!! I am 66 but am in great shape and feel like more in my 50’s. I encourage you to go and enjoy!!! Also enjoy the planning which is such a fun part of it!!! All of us would be thrilled to read your hunt report!!!

Very nice trophies!!! Congratulations and well done!!!

Thanks my friend! I so appreciate everyone’s input. All of you have convinced me to take a larger part in my hunts not distrusting my PH but more enjoying the moments and an extra set of eyes and confidence of distance for myself are standing out. I am leaning now towards the Leica 10-42 HD...

i brought back two more villager axes and a beautiful handmade Big 5 table runner made by my outfitters mother.

I was shocked to read his history to find out the first name for his band was “Rare Breed”. They later changed it to Black Sabbath. Who knew?

Fair points my friend! I have my top guns and now my elephant skin Courtney’s which I love…I so appreciate all my friends feedback. I do think I land somewhere between @Tanks and @Red Leg. I can see needing them for PG and if I buy another pair they will be the Leica 8x42 HDs

Twice now I have bought nice Binos only to not use them on my 8 safaris ending up giving them to my PHs along with a nice cash tip Please tell me what I am missing. My PH always uses his to both judge the animal and position me. Given I lean on long walking DG animals I just don’t see the need...

Extremely well done!!! Congratulations!!!

Keep the Rigby, sell the bullets. Why the Capstick when you have the Rigby?

Yes. It is perfect!!!

I take doxy, Cipro and anti diarrhea from my local doc before I go just to be safe

So true! I hunted with Lou Hallamore hard for 15 days 120 miles per day. bait positioning was text book perfect. plenty of bait. just no PG animals and too much water from record rains to even get a leopard to hit a single bait. Tracks we found but no hits. The only thing we might have done...

very fair point!!!

Really like this one!!!

@One Day... has the best post that helped me so very much better shoot my DR off sticks. Sorry I can’t recall the title

Nice job everyone on tips! To me the most important thing about shooting a big bore DR is the stance. I have seen most people turn to much sideways when the more stable stance is squaring up to the target off your shooting sticks

Great points by all! I just like to have goals that are fun in hunting not stressful in the fulfillment to where I would not enjoy the experience. The Big 5 is just fun for me while The dangerous 7 or spiral slams do nothing for me personally. If I did not have the Big 5 goal would I hunt a...

Simply outstanding and congratulations to both you and your wife!!! Well done!!! A thrill of a lifetime…your smiles say it all!
